PS2 / PS3 Registration

Register your PlayStation 2 or 3

To connect your PlayStation to the Internet, you must first register your PS’s network card with ResTek. Because PS2s cannot pass the steps in our Network Registration process, you simply need to provide us with your PS’s MAC address by filling out our device registration form. Once the MAC address in entered in to our system, your PS will be assigned an IP, and your PS will have access to the Internet.
